December 6, 201311 yr Brilliant indeed, do yourself a favour though, turn it over "Thankful For Your Love" is as good as anything they did IMHO Kev
December 6, 201311 yr this was their biggest hit here in the US, everyone knows this song. there is an incredible performance (it's lip synched but still incredible) in the low budget movie "Darktown Strutters".
December 6, 201311 yr Brilliant indeed, do yourself a favour though, turn it over "Thankful For Your Love" is as good as anything they did IMHO Kev Yep great track."Hey you!get off my mountain" does it for me.
December 7, 201311 yr most of the dramatics records are incredible One on ABC Bob, not one of their better known one's "Treat me like a man" like this very much Kev
December 7, 201311 yr One on ABC Bob, not one of their better known one's "Treat me like a man" like this very much Kev this is actually a huge track in chicago because it's a "steppers" track here. but overall not as well known.
December 7, 201311 yr Add 'No Rebate on Love' and 'Don't make me no Promises' to that list... Both killer tracks.... Mal
December 7, 201311 yr Add 'No Rebate on Love' and 'Don't make me no Promises' to that list... Both killer tracks.... Mal See a Dramatics thread coming on, no complaints here Kev
December 7, 201311 yr Add 'No Rebate on Love' and 'Don't make me no Promises' to that list... Both killer tracks.... Mal "no rebate on love" is actually a different splinter group that had wee gee and elbert wilkins
December 7, 201311 yr And of course the blindingly obvious "In the rain" - as good as it gets. Love all the Dramatics stuff, hardly ever made a duff track. Check out the Michael Henderson written "Just shopping" - sublime.
December 7, 201311 yr "no rebate on love" is actually a different splinter group that had wee gee and elbert wilkins As was the Theatrics.
December 7, 201311 yr Author this was their biggest hit here in the US, everyone knows this song. there is an incredible performance (it's lip synched but still incredible) in the low budget movie "Darktown Strutters". Was new to me until I heard it on a Mastercuts compilation late 80's I think. I posted the clip mainly because its the first one on Youtube with decent audio. Previous lowish quality upload was apparently from the son or daughter of someone in the group from his personal collection. Darktown Strutters ( 1975) is uploaded onto YouTube so may give it a watch. Opening scenes look interesting!
December 7, 201311 yr Probably been said before but Messrs Banks, Howard and Wilkins were cruelly taken way too early, all three died from heart attacks. If I had to choose one track above all others it would be "And I panicked" Somebody should put that up just to remind us just how gifted they all were.
December 7, 201311 yr Remember getting the film a few years ago on video.....great track.....teaser for film https://youtu.be/Oi3TKozz7EY I love this track from same era.....well love the whole lp phil
December 7, 201311 yr "no rebate on love" is actually a different splinter group that had wee gee and Elbert Wilkins is that right... still great track.. Ive really discovered their material late in life, i always had one or two LP's / 45's but when you start diggin, they simply didn't make anything under parr, and the energy they put into their songs is awesome...
December 7, 201311 yr As was the Theatrics. this is just a rumor that they were connected. I think Heikki (*the* dramatics expert, he's on here btw) confirmed that there was no connection or maybe only one common member or something, I don't remember.
Tony Hester composed brilliant winner!
